execute a contract with TU Electric for administration of the E-Wise Low-Income Program from
November 4, 1997 to March 31, 1998.
The objective of this program is to acquire cost effective services and energy savings through
investments iri energy-efficient technologies and practices in the program customers' homes. All
applicants selected for participation in this program (50% must meet the Federal Poverty Income
Guidelines) receive the following basic services.

Compact fluorescent light technology
Home energy efficiency
Basic Eneray Saving Measures
Installation of low-flow shower heads and faucet aerators at no cost
Opportunity to lease compact fluorescent lights at $0.25 per month, per bulb
TU Electric has notified the City that due to the high performance of the City on the initial contract, they
wish to renew the contract from April 1, 1998, through March 31, 1999 This proposed renewal was
delayed until now because program activity was minimized during the summer months when staff
resources were dedicated to the hot weather crisis. The renewal proposes to continue providing
Demand Side Management (DSM) services to TU Electric's low-income residents through a
neighborhood blitz approach

SUBJECT ADOPT APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE AND RENEW CONTRACT WITH TU ELECTRIC
FOR THE E-WISE PROGRAM THROUGH MARCH 31, 1999
The projected goal is the installation of at least 14,000 compact fluorescent light bulbs (GEC's), 3,500
showerheads, 3,500 faucet aerators, and distribution of education materials to 3,500 homes. The City
will be reimbursed $28 for each installation of four CFL's and one showerhead.
Although the contract and contract extension allow reimbursement to the City by TU Electric of up to
$98,000, staff is anticipating that a maximum of $35,000 will actually be received.
Staff recommends that upon receipt, these funds be used to electronically network Neighborhood
Resources Development Program sites and to fund other division related programs and expenses. In
addition, wiring infrastructure for the Client Tracking Program mandated by the Texas Department of
Housing and Community Affairs will be implemented.
This program serves all Council Districts.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance
and the receipt of funds from TU Electric, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated, of the General Fund. The Parks and Community Services Department is responsible for
the collection and deposit of revenues generated under this agreement.
